Requirements

QUALIFICATIONS:

• Proficient in Broker Engine — required for file review, handover and pre-submission checks

• Broad lender exposure — must know policy and servicing for major, second and third-tier lenders
• Proficient in Quickli for servicing scenarios
• Ability to interpret PAYG and self-employed financials; trust and SMSF experience highly regarded

• Extensive AOL experience — required to act as a checkpoint on processor submissions, even though the analyst will not lodge applications directly
• Solutions-oriented — able to identify issues and recommend the appropriate lender or structure
• Attention to detail — picks up inconsistencies such as income mismatches, payslips not reconciling with YTD figures, understated living expenses, or liabilities missing from fact find versus credit report
• Able to produce clear, concise recommendations to the broker and a clean handover pack for submission
• Solid English and communication skills — will periodically liaise with bank BDMs to clarify scenarios or policy
• Complex lending experience (trust, SMSF) advantageous to support new client acquisition
